Just want to say love the real-time top-down map overview of the level. Really helps people like me who have never played Jak 3 understand why certain skips were so important when you can see what it's meant to look like and where the time is being saved. So many other speedrunning channels don't have any sort of comparison or overview like that and just assume you're familiar with speedrun strats and why they're done. (Goddamn resident evil 4 videos never explaining the weird rank system and that they take damage because it literally makes the game easier)
@@solidgent7870 That damn Sand Shark. . . Why, why did it have to be the main vehicle. I wish atleast in hero mode you could've picked anyone you wanted regardless of the mission. Like the Dune Jumper, I had endless hours of fun screwing around with that thing.
Man i love speedrun documentaries like that. It gives you weeks, months or years worth of suspense condensed into a single, almost storylike experience.
Tfw when a homie drops a fat vid about a monument of jak 3 speedrunning. Congrats on the job done, it was clearly worth the wait. Never forget that you're doing very good stuff.
Man, I love these videos. They're so well put together. You can really tell how much effort you put into these *while* working on your pbs and everything. Mad props.
@@Piman1607 emplemon was a YTP creator for a long time, transitioned to rants with YTP editing, and then recently he's been doing a more analytical documentary style.... although the Nintendo one is more of a video essay since he is not shy to air his grievances there.
I am so into seeing the three of you guys working together to figure out the best route, and then competing, but also supporting each other. All three of you had to at least have a 16. So awesome.
I dont believe in destiny, but today i was talking with my little brother on how bizarre this mission was, i sit on the PC and i got a notification that you uploaded a video...explaining this exact thing. Thank you for coming back, keep up the good work!!!!
You're new at this? every time i talk about something with my brother i find or a youtuber that i follow decided to create a video of what i was talking about earlier.
Rule of thumb: any level with a change of physics/control style runs a very high risk of being incredibly unpopular. Vehicle sections, water levels, ice physics, puzzle levels, playing as secondary characters... yeah, it's not fun to effectively be playing a different game to the one you're playing.
@@barstow_ I seriously don't understand this, why do you guys want boring stagnant games? There's nothing wrong with water levels, I honestly just feel like some people are too dumb lol Even when I was a kid I didn't struggle with them that much. And either way overcoming challenges is enjoyable. When you guys do get a game that has everything removed that you don't want, usually it ends up being completely boring and garbage
Imagine making a 30 video about my most hated level in Jak ever and getting me to actually watch the whole thing. Thanks Ricky, this content is so fun to watch! It gets me hyped!
I'd just like to say, i'm a new viewer of yours, and have watched most of your content over the past week. The way you tell the stories of various individuals & even your own accomplishments is very enticing and I love the format of everything ive seen on your channel. Keep it up!
This was an absolute blast to watch. Not only did I learn a ton about a game and a speedrun scene I thought I knew fairly well, but this was so entertaining to watch. The way in which you retell the push for 16 perfectly captures what it was like to watch all 3 of you live when it happened earlier this year. I think this is easily your best video to date from both an informative and an entertaining angle. Thank you so much for putting these out. Can’t wait for the next video!
Toy Story 2's Tarmac Trouble song at 13:29 was something I did not expect at all, but I thouroughly enjoyed it, just like the rest of the video. Ricky, a man of culture indeed. Amazing content as always!
Just waiting for the day to come where Rixer uploads a video like "The Man Who Broke ____ In Half" and it's just him talking about himself the whole time.
As someone who exclusively practices TPL runs, I had ZERO idea that his mission in Jak 3 had so much... lore to it. Consider me quite surprised. And so far, excellent video as usual!
I just love how we’re learning about random videogame players and their habits when trying to play a decades old game - that’s how well the video is presented
I remember my older brother using every curse word he knew going though this level. After he completed it, my parents had to have a talk with him about his video game addiction and how it was affecting his life.
So I just completed my annual playthrough of the Jak trilogy and I have to say, I genuinely enjoyed playing through BTR for the first time in my life. Thank you for opening my mind Ricky!
It's kinda crazy, I don't believe in destiny, but when my cat was lying on his deathbed we were talking about how bizarre this mission was. Then after my cat passed away and I go on my computer I see that you have uploaded a video... explaining this exact thing. Really great video.
I had a feeling I knew where the music was coming from at 9:41 haha Tekken 4 - The Inner Shrine. Great analysis and timeline of one of my favorite console games of all time, keep up the great content!
I just finished playing Jak 3 after finding my old Playstation and I absolutely did not expect the story that would come from this level when I played! The dedication is unreal and I love the video that showcases all of it. Well done!
Great job Ricky, loved this progression that took place in this video it’s crazy how something once so universally hated can be turned into probably the cleanest one minute and twenty seconds of inputs that you’ll ever see in the Jak collection. Thank you for the amazing content I’m excited to see what’s next and congrats on 50k subscribers you deserve it 🤟
BYR just seems like a situation of, “holding down the gas doesn’t mean you’ll win the race knowing when to break is the difference between winning and losing.” Everyone’s basic mistakes seems to be speed counter productively slowing down will grant a better run given all the slip ups.
Just want to say that the minimap with the drawn line was incredibly helpful. I haven't played Jak 3, and that visual turned this from a confusing mess to something I could easily follow. Great video.
Absolutely dope video as always. And the flow and pacing, on point. Every time I watch a video, it always makes me want to boot up whichever game and run through it all over again
Your videos are godlike. Jak 3 is one of my favorite games ever and your videos are great ways for me to see just how far people have taken it. Congrats on your sub 17 run and thank you!
I love speedrun content and this game is probably my most played and most liked game from my childhood and now i found speedrun content of it. Im absolutely amazed
As I haven't played Jak3 and maybe it's just me but including the map more often when discussing where and when the shortcuts were made would've been nice :) Otherwise it was really fascinating to listen to!
That opening cutscene and level has polarised me when I was younger, to the point where it's where I would drop the game. The speedrun history about is wild and gave me a little more appreciation for it Those boost jump skips are crazy
I've binged your videos a while ago and I am now rewatching most of them, having watched your Yu-Gi-Oh FM one as well (and having recently re-played the game). I have to say I never noticed you put the FM soundtrack in so many of your videos!
Seeing the ram rod opened up so many memories for me like I never even knew about Jack and Daxter but I swear I had a toy car version of the ram rod maybe it was hotwheels? My memories a bit fuzzy
You know it’s a good day when you get a new documentary from the Rickster himself. Thanks for the upload! I was wondering what you were brewing with all the jak content on the archive
did a search of jak 3 on yt and filtered them by the date...for the last 29 minutes i got stuck here good job, it was like someone was telling me a good story.
Discovered your channel and been thoroughly enjoying all your videos. Then you showed yourself listening to Death. Now I'm a subscriber. Bravo sir, keep up the awesome work.

EXPERIMENT Glowing 1000 degree KNIFE VS RAM ROD
Still watch your GDQ Sunshine run for the good vibes, hope you're doing all right
didn't expect Trey in the comments of a JAk3 Vid. But like the lawn mower says: follow your dreams!
If only you could color the SandShark in Jak X.
RamRod would easily break the knife into pieces.
Ah yes, early 2000s physics engines, the speedrunner's most powerful ally... except when its their worst enemy, which is often.
Chaotic neutral physics engine
In Italian the Slam Dozer is just called "The Rhino". Just a fun fact
I consider that a nod to ratchet

Oh great, my Jak 3 “drive this vehicle and constantly fall down cracks and flip over” ptsd is back...
Any mission that involved driving the Sand Shark...
@@solidgent7870 That damn Sand Shark. . . Why, why did it have to be the main vehicle. I wish atleast in hero mode you could've picked anyone you wanted regardless of the mission. Like the Dune Jumper, I had endless hours of fun screwing around with that thing.

It gives you weeks, months or years worth of suspense condensed into a single, almost storylike experience.
Exactly, and what is speedrunning, if not a human story. (Yes, I stole that line from HBomberGuy, I won't apologize)
All for 2 seconds

What the actual fuck, these 2 are also the top 2 for me right now, and Tha Rixer is one upping himself with every video.

Maybe but vehicles are a core part of jak 3. You get just as accustomed to driving as shooting.
I'm the weird one that just loves thoses changes, am I alone in enjoying these types of levels?
No developers ever learn, just stop making water levels
It's so weird, to me those are the best levels. I don't know why you'd want to have one stagnant experience the whole time

"the thousand degree knife" LMFAO what a throwback
Update; 2 weeks before this comment, Wotan achieved the world record in any% hero mode at an insane 16m 37s, an improvement of 22 seconds.
I grew up with this game, so I love seeing the strats. I think I was like 12.
Same here bro I was about 9, was my favourite game
wow I feel old
Same man
Same here
I was 6 and somehow beat this game by myself, gaming abilties have only gone downhill since
17:30 Haha Yu-Gi-Oh Forbidden Memories soundtrack, you have an excellent taste in music!
Watching Wot7N achieve a 16:37 a few weeks ago and doing BTR on foot shows how significant progress has been made since this video.
16:11 now

Made this video and yet in 2019 GDQ you still made it look easy (still a nostalgia trip cuz it still makes me laugh)

It's so sad watching this seeing how right now the entirety of BTR is just skipped
Ah yes, the level i called hell as a kid, imagine being destroyed a second before the cutscene trigger, that was me
I don't remember being destroyed in this level but i really hate escape from the palace in Jak 2 and the mission that you have to kill the 40 guards

Can I just say that the name "Slam dozer" is the best name ever.

Love the use of DBZ and Yu-Gi-Oh! video game music. Made this ultra nostalgic.
20:50 This is Adon's theme from Ultra Street Fighter 4,and I love that I immediately noticed it!

I greatly respect your use of the Time Station theme from Ape Escape. Such a great game.
Yooo that Budokai music at the end hit lol, damn good video. I had no idea that this game had such an enticing and interesting speedrun history ^^
It's honestly incredible. It's the game i'm the most knowledgable about for sure. Full scale documentary some day tm

This video stressed me so much xD GG man!
Was literally checking your channel yesterday waiting for the next video. Lets go!
I've been following you for 7 years when i was a kid and it's nice to see that your channel is starting to grow a lot :)
sooooo glad you added music credits in the description. thought i heard something out of tekken and was very glad to find i was right
I do for all my vids!
Your speedrunning history-esque videos are absolutely fab, so well-paced and entertaining. Can't wait to see more!
Got the hd collection when I was older and still felt like breaking my controller
I raged as kid, when I had to do the races in Jak 2.erols race in the town is 1 of my hate missions in the trilogy...
I only played through each Jak game once in my life, like 15 years ago (?)
and I remember HATING this level with such a burning passion it was insane.
Most of the difficulty comes from the damn physics in jak 3
Man I fucking love these jak and daxter videos you make
As a boomer shooter simp I was not expecting to hear the Serious Sam soundtrack in the background
Elevated the video just that bit more for me
Hell yea, good game, don't worry i love me some quake
Holy hell, is that the ice world theme from Team Buddies at 15:10? I can't believe someone else remembers that hidden gem of a game.
Discovered your channel and been thoroughly enjoying all your videos. Then you showed yourself listening to Death. Now I'm a subscriber.
Bravo sir, keep up the awesome work.
Dude I love Jak 3...
Been watching your amazing videos since like about 6 years ago. Nice to see the community still alive and well
amazing video, and kudos on the sub 17! i am in awe when i see so much dedication. bravo
Another banger, let's go!
Ricky, I love your documentaries. Keep making them! We love when you explain the history of these troubling levels!
Watching jak content in 2021, 15 years after launch still just feels surreal
I love you for that dragon ball budokai soundtrack at 28:40
Incredible storyline and storytelling
This story is so cute. I love it.
Hell yeah I've been waiting for your next video! Cant wait to watch it!
Moral of the story; grind away until your health starts to fall a part
I've never played this game, but the driving looks interesting.
Also wonderful music choices
Jak 3s driving is great. The races in 2 are something else. They are brutal if you aren't a good gamer.
grats on 50k!!!
Thanks clovis! Got it during the dry streak in the past couple of months ^^'
Outstanding video. Congrats on over 50k subs, you deserve it, remarkable stuff.
Thank you! Very happy with how far i've come, gonna try to go even further
i like how all the songs you used were period correct
